Applied International Finance II, Second Edition [EPUB ebook] 
International Cost of Capital and Capital Budgeting

This volume is the second of a three-volume set designed for use in a course in applied international corporate finance for managers and executives. This volume’s issue is how uncertain foreign exchange (FX) rate changes affect a firm’s ongoing cash flows and equity value, and what can be done in terms of hedging this risk using financial instruments. The accounting implications are also considered. Numerous examples of real-world companies are used. The volume contains a hypothetical case that ties the material together. The first volume reviews some basics of FX rates: Introduction to Foreign Exchange Rates, 2nd edition, Business Expert Press, 2016. The third volume deals with the estimation of the cost of capital for international operations and the evaluation of overseas investment proposals: Applied International Finance II: International Cost of Capital and Capital Budgeting, 2nd edition, Business Expert Press, 2017.
